Beyond Paradise begins filming second series of "weird and wonderful cases"

The first series of the hit Death in Paradise spin-off followed Detective Inspector Humphrey Goodman (Kris Marshall) as he left the Caribbean for the Devonshire Coast, swapping 'Saint Marie' for 'Shipton Abbott'.

The fictional hometown of his wife-to-be, Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton), is set in and around the picturesque Devonshire Coast, and Marshall is happy to return: "'Shipton Abbott' is such a wonderful location to call home for a while.

Following a successful stage acting career, including a spell with the Old Vic company, Roger’s first TV job was hosting Anglia’s lunchtime show alongside the actor, Susan Hampshire.

However, he decided to move behind the camera and was selected for the BBC’s directors course. He was the first to put Dudley Moore on screen, directed Michael Bentine in the comedy series, It’s A Square World, and worked often with Spike Milligan.
